violating the "trimming" rule, rather than a problem with
bottom-posting itself.)
I agree that lack of trimming is th real problem. All this fighting
about top vs bottom is overshadowing that point.
Ultimately though, it depends on the context. If I want an audit trail,
then I top post. For fourms such as this I trim and inline. Often, after
proper trimming, I find inline and bottom posting to be one and the same
(as is the case with this email).
